Cove Palisades is a sweet little cardigan that is a quick knit and has just enough details to be interesting all the way to the last stitch. Cove Palisades is that perfect go-to sweater that looks equally good dressed up or down - wear it with jeans or fancy dresses. Columns of ribbing down the center back flow into a notched V that allows for freedom of movement and adds a bit of flow to the fabric. It’s easy to make the sleeves longer or shorter and choose your sleeve finish too. Construction is top-down and totally seamless with a raglan yoke. The loose fit and waist/high hip length makes it a flattering fit for many body types. The hemline finish is a simple one and you get to choose your neckline and sleeve finishes. The pattern includes options for two neck finishes: I-Cord BO or a short Mock Collar that extends the pattern of the body (or leave it with just the cast on finish as in the sample photo!) Sleeves as shown are ¾ length with finishing options to either match the body hemline or a vented, ribbed cuff to match the back ribbing and vent. Sleeves can easily be made full length. The instructions are written with no need for charts. The pattern has been professionally tech edited and tested.

Buy 3 and get one free! Place 4 of my patterns or ebooks in your cart and the 4th (least expensive) will be free! No code needed. (This discount applies only to my patterns on Ravelry.) Multnomah Falls is a classic cardigan with a soft, modern twist and simple braided cables bordered by an easy lace stitch. It’s a super soft and comfortable cardigan to wear. Choose a lighter yarn for a light airy sweater (Suri fingering) or use a sport weight for a heavier sweater. The construction is top-down and totally seamless with modified drop shoulders. It can be made in several yarn weights, from Fingering to Sport or a combination thereof.…just adjust needle size to get gauge. There’s plenty of structure built into the design so that it will keep its shape after lots of wear. Sizing is inclusive with intended ease of 6 inches / 15 cm. This pattern has been professionally tech-edited and tested. The pattern instructions are fully written and charted. SIZING XS(S, M, L, XL)(2XL, 3XL, 4XL, 5XL). Designed to be worn with approx 6 inches / 15 cm ease at chest. FINISHED MEASUREMENTS Finished Chest (worn buttoned): 39(41, 46, 47.75, 52.75)(54.5, 59.75, 66.5, 68.25) inches / 99(104, 117, 121.5, 134)(138.5, 152, 169, 173.5) cm. Choose a size that is about 6 inches / 15 cm larger than chest measurement. Can adjust size a bit by how much you open up the lace stitches in blocking. Measurements assume lace is blocked open all the way. YARN INFO Light Fingering to Sport weight work well. See pattern info for gauge and adjusting needle sizes to achieve gauge. The cables create a heavier fabric than one might expect so the fingering weight samples are great for spring and summer. Estimated Yarn Required 1650(1725, 1975, 2150, 2425)(2525, 2750, 2974, 3225) yds / 1500(1570, 1800, 1960, 2110)(2300, 2500, 2710, 2930) m.
